Q. What inspired you to write REVELATION FROM EXPERIENCE?

A. The inspiration to write REVELATIONS FROM EXPERIENCE
came about after I wrote the booklet UNAPPROVED DECISION. UNAPPROVED DECISION is about a major car accident I was in back in December 1995. In this booklet I described my pain and the experiences I went through as well as the emotions of the people in my life. Thereafter I realized that I needed to write more about lifeís experiences, but include other peopleís lives as well.

Q. How did you come about the title?

A. I gave the title REVELATIONS FROM EXPERIENCE to my book because knowledge was gained from every experience mentioned in the book as well as my reasons for writing it.

Q. How long have you been writing?

A. My writing ability I just happened upon in 1989. One morning I woke up with a dream so vivid in my mind that I decided to write it down. After writing it down I saw that it was over 40 pages long and so I named it NAJULAíS HOUSE GUEST. Thereafter I wrote other short stories (none of them published yet).

Q. Will you give the readers a brief synopsis of your book?

A. REVELATIONS FROM EXPERIENCE has an eye opening degree of words that tells the reader that there are people who have gone through similar things as that they have gone through. It gives excellent reasons and examples of lifeís series. And knowledge that shows to us the invisible world around us. The book makes the statement, "To live is to gain". And itís true, we gain something everyday. The main thing we gain is knowledge, and thatís because everyday we learn something we didnít know before. A lot of times we will realize the new knowledge and other times it just goes right over our head. So donít miss anything; ask God to help the mind to grasp that that is important.

Q. How long did it take you to write REVELATION FROM EXPERIENCE?

A. It took two years to write REVELATIONS FROM EXPERIENCE. At the start of writing this material I had know plans to publish it until I noticed it consisted of over 120 pages.

Q. Are you currently working on another book?

A. At the moment I am currently working on three more books, plus a childrenís animated series. Of which I plan to publish before the year is out.

Q. What part of REVELATION FROM EXPERIENCE was your favorite to write?

A. Chapters 4,6,7 are my favorite parts of the book. Because number one I truly do believe that God knows absolutely everything about us and that there is nothing we can ever hide from Him. And number two I realize that the children are our future and I feel that it is very important to make sure our children are properly reared in the Biblical way.

Q. What type of atmosphere do you require to write?

A. When writing I enjoy quiet because it allows my thought process to reach into the spiritual realm and glean understanding to my word thoughts.

Q. What message would you like readers to receive from reading REVELATION FROM EXPERIENCE?

A. The message I would like readers to receive from reading REVELATIONS FROM EXPERIENCE is that everyone can learn from each others experiences. And that this book can be used by many Christians to acquire answers to some questions of concern or even learn something they never knew.
